> For a "real physical quantum computer" to exist by this definition, it should be able to carry out such operations using quantum phenomena, without any reliance on classical computing architecture for function, error correction, or result verification.

Nope, wrong. Plans for quantum computers have always included assistance from classical computers. This is like saying for a nuclear weapon to exist, it must have no conventional explosives, but in fact all nuclear weapons contain conventional explosives to initiate the nuclear reactions.

You've made a number of incorrect claims here without admitting error, so I won't continue the conversation.
